Pablo is hoping to return in-time to participate during the European clay season this year. Unfortunately he has had setbacks but he is getting closer to returning, and is understandably being cautious about returning too soon and causing permanent damage to his right knee which he had surgery on in October of last season. He has returned to training but has not yet been cleared to play competitively.

Very disappointing as he was continuing to progress as a player before this knee injury. But hopefully when he comes back he is still as good as before, and if so, he will get back to being a high-level player once again.

Pablo has been nominated by Uruguay for their tie vs Chile in Davis Cup next weekend. We'll see if Pablo is ready to come back for this, as that has been a goal for him. The tie will be held in Uruguay as well, so that will provide extra motivation for Pablo to return for this tie. In any case, hopefully whenever he returns he is 100% without risk of reaggravating his injury.
